Chapter 76Lyra walked over to Bruce as she tried cleaning off the dirt that had stuck to her wet clothes."Hello Lyra," he said with Ryan in his arms."Hi, good evening" she greeted before looking at Ryan."Time to go home. Come, I'll change your clothes to dry ones" she said as she moved ahead of them. They all followed into the house"But I don't have any clothes here. I don't think daddy brought anyone for me or did you, daddy?"Bruce shook his head but Miles spoke instead"Don't worry. My clothes should fit you perfectly well""You'll give me your clothes?" Ryan asked with sparkling eyes. Miles nodded with a smile"Of course. You're family, remember?" This caused Ryan to blush so hard his ears turned red. He was so happy, they had even said it in the presence of his father. He hugged his father's neck hiding his blushed face.Bruce couldn't say a word but only kept staring at his son. He is not sure he has ever seen his son this happy before. He didn't know when he blurted out a
Chapter 77Lyra had sent the children upstairs to their room. She didn't want to argue when the children were there.

You want him now that he is no longer with Ella?" He asked"Where are you getting those ideas from, Bryan? I only ask why you were acting like a kid just now in front of him. I and Bruce will never have anything together again""I don't believe you!" Bryan yelled"Bryan!""What?! Can't you see what he is trying to do? I am not blind Lyra. You may not see it but I do. I am a man so I know how their tactics are"Tia came in and saw the scene. She guessed they were having a hot argument because of Bryan's attitude towards Bruce again. She didn't say a word to the both of them but instead went

Clinton yelled at her as he pushed himself away from where she threw up.She emptied her stomach right in front of him. Clinton felt so irritated, he wanted to throw up as well.Since Ella left Bruce's house, he didn't know if she had changed or if he didn't just know her to be this way before. She was barely at home, she doesn't cook and she partied a lot even when he asked her to stop, she didn't listen.Before both of them would go partying but he had to remind her that she was pregnant. Even with her pregnancy, she had gone out and come back drunk."I instructed you not to leave this house" he shouted at herElla pointed her hand drunkenly at him and said"You are not the boss of me""What is wrong with you, Ella?"

Chapter 79Tia was seated in her office checking out the designs the company will have to create in two months.She was pissed at how slow her workers were. They still have a lot to cover up yet they are being sluggish. She just didn't know what to do with these people.She had called the manager to complain about this but he said it wasn't their fault but the fault of the designer who didn't bring the designs on time. Now they have a lot of clothes to create with little time.She clicked her tongue when she heard someone knock at her door. She didn't want to see anyone at the moment. She's pissedThe person knocked again and she replied in a harsh yet low tune"Go away" she continued what she was doing, still viewing the designs only for the person to knock louder this time.Tia frowned looking at the door, she stood up before walking towards the door in anger as she said to the person behind the door"Just keep it in mind that you are fired, I would not take such behavior in-" she s
Chapter 80Lyra sat there staring into space. She has been thinking of what to do with Ryan. The boy had called earlier today that he was sorry that he couldn't come the day before but wished to come today. Lyra had to give some excuse that she was busy and the kids weren't around.She didn't know for how long she was going to lie to him. And if the kids find out about it, they would be mad at her.She has spoken to Bryan so many times about the issue but the man said he doesn't even want to hear Ryan's name on her lips anymore. The boy did no wrong"What should I do?" She asked herself. She really wanted Ryan to be around her twins because she could feel the loneliness he was feeling. She wants to help him outSoon she picked up her phone and dialed a number. The phone rang for a short time before the person at the other end answered"Hello, Lyra?""Hm, Bruce.

Chapter 81"Why are we going out of town Tia?" Lyra asked the girl who was smiling mischievously."You'll see," Tia replied."Huh... Since you're going out of town, we'll just see some other time" Bruce said over the phone and Lyra nodded still wondering where Tia was taking her to"Sure, sure" she replied before hanging up."Tia, this isn't funny. You're the one complaining of much work at your company yet you have time to go out of town for fun" she complained but Tia only giggled"Chill Lyra. I just want to spend some time with you. I'm having a feeling that something good is about to happen so we need to create an atmosphere for it, " Tia replied, causing Lyra to roll her eyes.She sat there looking around till they finally stopped at the roadside"We're here," Tia said with bliss as she removed her seatbelt and came down.Lyra looked around, they were by the side of the road, and they weren't anywhere."Where are we?""Here?" Tia chuckled before pulling Lyra to walk with her "Thi
Chapter 82"How do I look?" Henri asked Bruce who was typing away on his laptop. "You're good" he replied without looking at him. Henri frowned at this causing Ryan to burst into laughter"You know daddy is busy, and you keep disturbing him asking how you look, of course he will only do that to you" Ryan giggled"You are suppose to ask me instead. I'm the one who can tell you how you really look"Henri pouted before asking "So Ryan, how do I look?""Hmmm," Ryan placed his hand under his chin as he observed Henri from top to bottom"Okay....

You shouldn't keep her waiting" he gestured with his short hand for Henri to leave already.Henri nodded "yes, yes, yes. Wait how did you know?" He asked with narrowed eyes"Well, let's say whenever you want to go see Aunt Tia you always have this wide smile on your face. You always dresses better

Tia was super excited that she couldn't help it"Ahhhhh!!!" Lyra screamed. That was one good news she has been longing to hear. She quickly parked her car by the side of the road"Gezzzz...

I still have to see Bruce today. I told you I'll be meeting with
